Tim AtkinsonProfessor Tim Atkinson (Professor of Environmental Geochemistry, Director of the Groundwater Tracing Unit, Director of the Bloomsbury Environmental Isotope Facility)

Professor Atkinson is a geologist with wide research interests in the earth and environmental sciences, centring around the applications of chemistry and physics to problems in hydrology, hydrogeology, Quaternary geology and palaeoclimate, and geomorphology. His hydrogeological interests include natural and artificial tracers and their uses in environmental protection and aquifer characterisation.

 

Willy BurgessDr Willy Burgess (Senior Lecturer in Hydrogeology, Director of the Graduate Diploma in Hydrogeology & Groundwater Resources)

Dr Burgess joined UCL in 1990 having previously worked at the British Geological Survey and in consultancy, with experience in groundwater resource assessment and contaminant hydrogeology. His research concentrates on interactions between groundwater flow, transport processes and geochemical reactions which control groundwater quality, in particular on establishing field relationships to constrain conceptual models, mostly in contaminant hydrogeology

 

Richard Taylor Dr Richard Taylor (Lecturer in Physical Geography)

Dr Taylor took up his current post in the Department of Geography at UCL in 2000 following post-doctoral studies funded by NERC (UK) and NSERC (Canada) at the Robens Centre of Public and Environmental Health (Surrey) and with Professor John Barker at UCL. This was preceded by doctoral study in hydrogeology at the University of Toronto and several years of consultancy work in tropical Africa (e.g., DANIDA, World Bank, EU). His research interests include the hydrogeology of weathered crystalline rock aquifers, transport of sewage-derived, microbial pathogens by groundwater, and impact of climate change on water resources.
